The Reverse Mohawk.

The Reverse Mohawk, or Reverse Mohawk Arc, refers to a period of time when Daniel's hair was cut by trolls, resulting in the aforementioned haircut.

On October 23, 2023, Daniel received a haircut from a duo of trolls, one who he referred to as his assistant. The haircut began with scissors. but eventually progressed to a razor, leaving Daniel with a large patch of hair removed from the middle of his head. Not long after, The trolls claimed that their car was broken into while they went to get the blow-dryer.

Later, their story changed to their car being completely stolen and nowhere to be found, before proceeding to immediately abandon Daniel and leaving him with that haircut. Daniel never finished his haircut, leaving him looking utterly ridiculous. Some of the group members responsible for the cut also caused the Häagen-Dazs and Fake Security incidents.

The Reverse Mohawk Arc ended at the end of November 2023, when his hair grew out.

Troll Interaction

However, in the next video Daniel uploaded, the haircut had seemed to have progressed to using a razor, giving Daniel a reverse Mohawk. In the background of the video, you can hear the trolls laughing.

At this point, the trolls seemed to have abandoned Daniel mid-haircut, with him uploading a video asking where they had gone.

Daniel uploaded another, stating that they said they would be right back. This video received a notable amount of views, surpassing 1 million.

Daniel uploads some more videos a couple of minutes later in which he appears to be with the trolls again. The trolls tell Daniel that their car was broken into while they were on their way to get the blow dryer.

As they walk to the car, The story later changes to it being stolen and "completely disappearing". Daniel then uploads a video stating that he is in "so big trouble" with the reverse mohawk, showing that the trolls did not finish the haircut.
